Boys basketball: Branson wins nailbiter

The difference: John Broderick (seven rebounds) had a season-high 22 points, including nailing the game-winning free throws with three seconds left as the Bulls (5-2) salvaged third place at the SJND Classic in Alameda. Taylor Walton finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds and Patrick Lasowski finished with seven points.

From the coach: "It was a close game ... it came down to whoever had the ball last," Branson's Bret Tovani said.
